Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, endoscopic papillary balloon dilation, and laparoscopic hepatectomy for intra- and extrahepatic bile duct stones.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIntrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct stones (BDSs) have a high rate of residual stones, a high risk of recurrence, and a high rate of reoperation. It is very important to take timely and effective surgical intervention for patients.
aimTo analyze the efficacy, postoperative rehabilitation, and quality of life (QoL) of patients with intra- and extrahepatic BDSs treated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) + endoscopic papillary balloon dilation (EPBD) + laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH).
methodsThis study selected 114 cases of intra- and extrahepatic BDSs from April 2021 to April 2024, consisting of 55 cases in the control group receiving laparoscopic common bile duct exploration and LH and 59 cases in the observation group treated with ERCP + EPBD + LH. Efficacy, surgical indicators [operation time (OT) and intraoperative blood loss (IBL)], postoperative rehabilitation (time for body temperature to return to normal, time for pain relief, and time for drainage to reduce jaundice), hospital stay, medical expenses, and QoL [Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI)] were comparatively analyzed. Further, Logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze factors influencing the QoL of patients with intra- and extrahepatic BDSs.
resultsThe data demonstrated a higher overall effective rate in the observation group compared to the control group (
conclusionThe above indicates that ERCP + EPBD + LH is effective in treating patients with intra- and extrahepatic BDSs, which is conducive to postoperative rehabilitation and QoL improvement, with promising prospects for clinical promotion.
